Stick with me here. I explain my viewpoint about yield…and how arrangement shapes plant architecture..which later sets up a more efficient plant. I think many miss the mark with relay cropping because they’re focused on growing 2 crops instead of growing bigger plants twice. What’s delusional about industrial agriculture...

10 years ago my focus was growing “400 bushel corn” … it gets a lot of attention, but it’s unpractical. The laws of diminishing returns cost you more than it gains you. Today I focus on capturing more value from free things. Attributes are assets if you can employ them. We’re finishing up our relay beans with the last pass here. For you to be in the right frame of mind you have to leave the mindset of maximizing monocrop yields and instead maximizing acre yield efficiently. Each day is hyper critical in the profitability of this system… that’s why even when we reach that peak ultimate practice efficiency… we’ll still be maxed at maybe 30-40% of our acres. I can only do things great within the constraints of time. I lay out all the specifics here but this is some truths I’ve learned from chasing high yields.. to conventional… no till… strip till… relay… alley… organic… grazing … Intergrazing… silvopasture Less plants require less inputs, especially nitrogen Soil temperature and WEOC drive plant growth Weed pressures come with bare soil You can index… or reallocate anything from fertilizers, chemistry, seed, etc You can cheat any system by leaning on the constraints to make the system work best Here in this specific system Follow early corn. The attributes of corn canopy, residue, N scavenge is an asset Plant wheat early. Every day in late September is worth 10x of those in late October Control weeds in the fall cheaply with good timing before you have them Control weeds in the spring and summer with timing and expedited canopy closure A great harvest plan for the wheat and the pruning of it, the straw, and the ☀️ is 10x more effective than any soil amendment or spray fertilizer. Account for the capability of single plants. They can yield 10x of a bunch of them slammed in a field competing with one another Sequencing plants allows you to stage different plant perceptions to get expressions, let live, and use their natural death to your advantage.
